FlyfishRC Volador II VX5

Flyfish Volador II VX5 is the second iteration of the top freestyle frame. The frame is in VX5 -Squashed X configuration with 5" propellers. The X layout makes the front and rear arms the same. Good symmetrical layout helps good flight characteristics. The 5" freestyle frame category is the most widely used and versatile. It is suitable for aggressive freestyle, flying for fun and shooting with HD camera.

The frame is cut from premium T700 carbon, which has better strength than the commonly used carbon (T300). The arms are also cut from 6mm thick carbon. This not only increases crash resistance, but also reduces vibration transmission from the motors to the flight controller due to the high strength. The frame is very well made.The edges of the frame are chamfered, so there is no risk of cutting the cable on a sharp edge. The screws are made of durable 12.9 grade steel. The screws are pre-coated with Loctite, so they hold tight and will not loosen with vibration. The camera is protected by a metal bracket, made of durable aluminum alloy 7075, which is commonly used on drones to make better motors. The camera itself is then held in a silicone insert that absorbs vibrations and helps make for better video. There are a number of 3D prints for the frame, including a shoulder protector, GoPro camera mount or GPS mount. On the top plate, the frame has a silicone pad that increases friction between the frame and battery and minimizes the chance of the battery slipping out in a fall. You'll also be pleased with the way the XT60 connector attaches. This is fixed in the top plate. This way the battery cables have no chance of getting caught between the propellers where they could be cut.

The frame has M3 mounting holes for 20x20mm and 30.5x30.5mm stacks. There is room for a second stack in the rear of the frame. The mounting holes are 20x20mm and 25,5x25,5mm M2. This allows the frame to accommodate an analog transmission as well as a Caddx Vista, Walksnail Avatar or DJI O3.

The prints come in black.
